"Where are they?" Jian Hongniang asked in fear.
Xue Guanyin's eyes were filled with unease. As the strongest force in the Sea of Constellations, there were no living creatures in the Star Pavilion.
This was not normal!
In the two years that they had been gone, there must have been a huge change!
Ma Coo —
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the depths of the star.
Jian Hongniang's expression changed. "It's the place where the Chief Pavilion Master trains in seclusion!"
Whoosh —
She immediately turned into a beam of light and flew over.
"Wait for me!" As a member of the Star Pavilion, Xue Guanyin had the deepest feelings for him and immediately rushed over.
Only Su Yu rubbed his chin, looking up at the purple ancient star as he leisurely followed behind them.
Whoosh —
After a few breaths, Jian Hongniang and Xue Guanyin arrived.
It was an isolated Taoist temple on the edge of a cliff. The pines rustled with the sounds of nature, and the mist flowed through the air.
This was where the Chief Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion trained in seclusion.
Jian Hongniang headed straight for the tallest building in the Taoist temple.
The Chief Pavilion Master trained in seclusion here for thirty thousand years.
"Who's inside?" Jian Hongniang asked coldly as she stared at the wide open door.
It was pitch-black inside, so dark that it made one feel uneasy.
Ma Coo —
A strange sound came from deep within the dark building.
Thud, thud —
At the same time, heavy footsteps could be heard.
A faintly discernible figure walked out from the dark building.
"Ice Blade Guard?" Jian Hongniang recognized this person, her expression joyful. She let down her guard and took a few quick steps forward. "What happened? Why is there no one in the main pavilion? "
Roar —
But suddenly, the Ice Blade Guard let out an inhuman roar, his entire body pouncing forward.
Under the illumination of the purple light, Jian Hongniang could finally see his face clearly.
How could that be the Ice Blade Guard?
His entire body was festering, his eyes bloodshot and fierce. He had no self-awareness, like a beast acting on instinct.
Jian Hongniang drew her sword in shock. "Sword of the Secular World!"
A ray of red sword light pierced through the Ice Blade Guard's body.
The Ice Blade Guard did not feel anything. His body pounced forward unhindered, pushing Jian Hongniang to the ground.
He opened his foul mouth, revealing sharp fangs as he bit down on her neck.
"Corpse transformation?" Jian Hongniang said in shock.
Wasn't the Ice Blade Guardsman's current appearance the same as that of the Corpse Race that had been transformed thirty thousand years ago, as recorded in the ancient records?
According to Gu Dian, once bitten by a Corpse, the powerful Corpse Poison would immediately invade the converted person's body, wiping out their vitality and occupying their consciousness.
At the critical moment, Jian Hongniang's body trembled and emitted boundless red golden light.
"Secular Sword Qi!"
Countless Sword Qi shot out, shaking off the Ice Blade Imperial Guards that were pouncing on her.
Jian Hongniang took this opportunity to retreat a hundred meters.
"Blood Guanyin, quickly retreat!" She shouted as she protected Blood Guanyin behind her.
Xue Guanyin was absent-minded: "One of the Ten Great Imperial Guards, the Ice Blade Imperial Guard, was reduced to the Corpse Race …"
Roar –
An earth-shattering roar came from the depths of the Ming Tower.
At the same time, three corpses with monstrous corpse qi rushed out!
"Damn the Imperial Guards! Divine Forbidden Guard! Yuanwu Imperial Guard!! "Jian Hongniang's pupils constricted as a monstrous wave rose in her heart!
The four imperial guards had all been reduced to the Corpse Race!
She no longer had the time to care about what had happened in the General Pavilion. Instead, she should be concerned about whether she could leave this place alive!
She was the weakest existence among the ten imperial guards. Even if the four imperial guards were reduced to the Corpse Race and their overall strength was reduced, she was no match for them four against one!
Crack –
The Ice Blade Imperial Guard roared angrily as he pulled out a shining ice blade from his palm and slashed at Jian Hongniang.
The enormous Sword Qi was mixed with extreme coldness, freezing space and even time!
Jian Hongniang's heart sank. As expected, they were still preserving their strength!
The other three imperial guards also attacked at the same time!
The most extreme thing was that they retained the tacit understanding they had when they were alive. The four of them joined forces to execute four powerful divine techniques.
Jian Hongniang felt a life and death crisis and her eyelids twitched rapidly.
"Blood Guanyin, hurry and leave!" She held her sword in front of her. The sword also sensed its master's danger and continuously hummed as it erupted with powerful Sword Qi.
Unfortunately, such Sword Qi was only enough to block one imperial guard.
Four was far from enough!
"My four lords, forgive me for not being able to accompany you. I cannot become a Corpse Race with you!" Seeing that she was about to die, Jian Hongniang slashed her sword upwards, aiming for her neck.
Her sword could not only kill the body, it could also bury the soul!
"Ah!" She gritted her teeth and let out a low roar, about to bury her body and soul.
But right at this moment, a palm stretched out abruptly and grabbed her right hand that was holding the sword.
Jian Hongniang's heart trembled. Who could get so close to her without her knowing?
What shocked her even more was that this person had grabbed her right hand, preventing her hand from moving!
Even when she fought against the strongest of the Ten Great Imperial Guards, the Heavenly Foot Imperial Guard, she had never been in such a sorry state!
"Don't be in a hurry to die, it's not time yet." A familiar young voice entered her ears.
Jian Hongniang's body trembled. "It's you?"
She glanced sideways. It was none other than Su Yu!
She could not believe that Su Yu, who had just broken through to the Golden Overlord, had such remarkable abilities.
Letting go of her hand, Su Yu looked at the four former imperial guards. He held the Asura Sword in one hand and swung it lightly.
"Demon Born from the Heart!"
The illusion enveloped the entire area, including Jian Hongniang.
When she regained consciousness, a scene that caused her to gasp unfolded in front of her eyes.
All four members of the Corpse Clan had been decapitated!
Most importantly, their heads had been sliced open, their consciousness destroyed. They were completely dead!
Ignoring her calm gaze, Su Yu shook off the pitch-black corpse blood on his sword. "Their souls have been corroded. Only by destroying their souls can they be killed."
He walked to the front of the building with his hands clasped behind his back. "Come out!"
There was someone else inside?
Jian Hongniang and Xue Guanyin's expressions tensed.
However, the Ming Tower was silent.
"Since you don't want to show yourself, I'll have to ask you to come out!"
The Asura Sword swept out, a massive sword energy slashing down vertically, splitting the building in two from the center.
A rumbling sound reverberated throughout the universe. Dust filled the sky.
A black figure half-squatting on the ground came into view. He was single-handedly holding up a large pile of rubble, his entire body releasing a powerful divine energy.
The strength of his divine energy far surpassed Jian Hongniang's!
"The aura of a peak overlord!" Xue Guanyin was shocked, but when she realized Su Yu was there, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Jian Hongniang's heart trembled when she saw this person. "The leader of the imperial guards, Heavenly Foot?"
She was even more shocked that Heavenly Foot had not been transformed!
Her face lit up with joy, but she quickly realized something was wrong.
They were both in the building, so why didn't the transformed corpse bite him?
Why did he hide and not show himself to help?
Retracting her foot, Jian Hongniang's expression darkened. "Leader Heavenly Foot, can you give me an explanation?"
"Hehe …"
Crack —
Heavenly Foot crushed the rubble in his palm, looking up with a pair of fierce eyes. "The explanation is that you're too stupid. You can't even compare to that little brat!"
Jian Hongniang turned her head to see Su Yu coldly staring at Heavenly Foot, his eyes filled with disdain.
"The unforgivable will betray you!" Su Yu said slowly, the Asura Sword in his hand reflecting a blood-red cold light.
Betray … Jian Hongniang was dazed, feeling like she was dreaming.
The leader of the Starry Pavilion's imperial guards had already been bribed by the corpse clan?
"Hehe, the Starry Pavilion is the most prosperous business organization in the Sea of Constellations. Don't you understand that there are no eternal enemies in this world? There are only eternal benefits?" Heavenly Foot stood up, shaking off the dust on his body. "The Ancient Corpse Sect has infiltrated every corner of the Sea of Constellations civilization for many years. There are people from the Ancient Corpse Sect in all the small, medium, and large forces!"
"I am only one of them."
Hearing him say it himself, Jian Hongniang let out a dejected laugh. "The Chief Pavilion Master is determined to destroy the Ancient Corpse Sect. It's laughable that your most trusted servant has become a member of the Ancient Corpse Sect!"
"I have to thank the Chief Pavilion Master for being in seclusion all year round and trusting me. Otherwise, no matter how capable I am, how would I dare to trade with the Ancient Corpse Sect under his watch?" Heavenly Foot laughed.
Jian Hongniang's eyes were filled with disdain. "Ptui! Traitor! "
"Hehe …" Heavenly Foot laughed sinisterly. "Soon, we will be comrades again, just like Bing Dao and the other three."
"You did it?" Jian Hongniang asked angrily.
Heavenly Foot clasped his hands behind his back. "They refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Originally, they could have been on equal footing with me and worked together for the corpse clan. Unfortunately, they chose the path that they shouldn't have chosen. In that case, I can only erase their consciousness."
Jian Hongniang gripped her longsword tightly and said, "That's because they are loyal to the Chief Pavilion Master. Unlike you, who can give up anything for your own benefits!"
"Don't talk big and lecture me! You don't have the right! " Heavenly Foot scoffed and took a step forward. The powerful aura of a peak overlord enveloped her.
Jian Hongniang only let out a muffled groan, but she stubbornly stood up.
"Eh? Your cultivation has improved so quickly that you're almost a peak overlord. You've caught up to me? " Heavenly Foot was astonished. He said in disbelief, "It seems like you received the Chief Pavilion Master's orders to carry out a mission in secret and obtained great benefits!"
"However, that's all." Heavenly Foot's aura changed again.
Jian Hongniang couldn't withstand the even more powerful aura. Her face turned red and she spat out a mouthful of divine blood, splattering it all over the ground.
"In front of a peak overlord, anyone below the Glazed Crystal Overlord level is an ant!" His aura shook and enveloped Xue Guanyin and Su Yu.
Xue Guanyin's face turned pale. Even though she had a few opportunities to face peak overlords, she was still powerless in front of them.
"Eh? You are indeed different! "Heavenly Foot stared at Su Yu, who was standing there calmly. He was both surprised and fearful.
Su Yu shrugged. "People often say that."
"Humph, aren't you just proficient in the language of the foreign races? Perhaps you've learned some strange divine arts of the foreign races! " Heavenly Foot was unconcerned. "You can play tricks, but in the face of absolute power, you'll have to show your true colors."
"Heaven Trampling!" He took a step forward and immediately gathered a horrifying and majestic aura to crush Su Yu.
In Su Yu's perception, it was as if the sky had collapsed, causing one's divine soul to tremble.
Su Yu smiled lightly. His brown pupils gradually turned silvery-white and shot out two silver flames.
The two flames fused into one, becoming a silver firebird. With a chirp, it ignored the majestic aura and tunneled into Heavenly Foot's body.
Heavenly Foot was caught off guard. Endless silver light shot out of his body.
His expression showed signs of struggle before his body went limp.
The silver firebird flew out with his soul in its mouth and flew back to Su Yu.
In less than a breath's time, the insufferably arrogant leader of the imperial guards had his soul captured in the blink of an eye!
Jian Hongniang was stunned on the spot. It was like a dream.
Heavenly Foot had been captured in a single exchange?
Looking at Su Yu's back, she had the illusion that she was looking at the Chief Pavilion Master!
Heavenly Foot was terrified. "What did you do? What is this firebird? "
Creak —
The flames on the firebird flickered, burning Heavenly Foot to the point of screaming in pain. "Stop! Stop! "
This fire had an unparalleled restraining effect on souls.
"I'll ask and you answer. What happened after we left?" Su Yu asked.
Heavenly Foot hesitated for a moment. The firebird immediately released its flames, burning him until he begged for mercy. "I'll speak, I'll speak! As soon as you left, the Chief Pavilion Master mobilized all the forces of the civilization of the Sea of Constellations to form the Allied Forces of the Living to invade the ancient stars, but in the end … "
He did not continue, his eyes evasive.
Su Yu said indifferently, "I guess the Corpse Race was prepared and set up an ambush. The Allied Forces of the Living suffered heavy casualties because of you, the spy, who tipped off the Corpse Race, right?"
Heavenly Foot defended himself. "I, I didn't …"
"How is the Allied Forces of the Living now?" Su Yu asked.
Heavenly Foot hurriedly said, "Just a lot of casualties. They are above."
Above? Su Yu looked up, his pupils constricting slightly.
Trapped in the ancient stars?
"The Sea of Constellations has been completely occupied by you?" Su Yu's eyes turned cold.
Heavenly Foot was afraid. "Except for the Purple Dream Divine Bamboo, the other three regions have been occupied."
The South Sea, the North Sea, and the Star Pavilion were all occupied by the Corpse Race!
"How are the casualties of the Divine Warriors?" Su Yu asked.
"Except for the death of the Emperor Killer, the rest of the Divine Warriors are unharmed."
He was dead? Su Yu's face darkened.
The death of a Divine Warrior of Heaven and Earth was no trivial matter. It meant that the other party had at least a powerful being or divine technique that could kill a Divine Warrior of Heaven and Earth.
"Who killed him?"
Hearing that, Heavenly Foot's eyes were filled with deep reverence. "Lan Yue!"
"Who?" Xue Guanyin walked over and asked suspiciously, "The Lan Yue you mentioned is not the same Lan Yue who was banished by the Star Pavilion, right?"
Lan Yue of the Star Pavilion was not worth mentioning in her eyes.
"It's her! A former member of the Star Pavilion, Lan Yue! " Heavenly Foot was terrified. "The Star Pavilion was breached because of her. She led several Corpse Kings to massacre the Star Pavilion and killed all the members who stayed behind to guard the Star Pavilion! The Master of the Red Leaf Pavilion was personally executed by her. She was also ruthless to the rest of the people in the pavilion. "
At this point, Heavenly Foot shuddered, as if the bloody and vicious scene of that day was replaying before his eyes.
"I can be described as a beast for betraying my own faction and killing my own people. But compared to Lan Yue, haha, I'm too noble. At least I gave them a quick death. But Lan Yue's methods are infuriating!"
The Master of the Red Leaf Pavilion was afraid of Su Yu and banished Lan Yue, who had a grudge against him.
No one had expected Lan Yue to massacre the Red Leaf Pavilion and torture them to death with bloody methods that even Heavenly Foot was terrified of.
"Wait! How could Lan Yue lead the Corpse Kings? "Xue Guanyin said in disbelief.
